You haven’t seen Britain since 1490?

The line must be drawn here!

Oh I see. Yes, maybe they’ve realised that getting seen like that isn’t helping, especially as they’ve been doing a lot to do with workers rights which clearly is going unnoticed if you think their “whole deal” has been cutting essential services and austerity. (though I’d argue that it’s not essential for people like my dad who’s on a final salary pension of about £35k plus his state pension to receive winter fuel allowance)

Absolutely this.

Themes water should have been allowed to go bust so the government could buy it back super cheap.

I’m glad at least it looks like the threat of them forcing them not to take bonuses will be making them voluntarily not take them. Plus the whole personal liability for pollution thing so that the execs can end up with prison time if they don’t get their act together.

I’m lost now. Labour are economically left of centre (though arguably have been drifting more right) they’re all for nationalisation. It’s the conservatives (right of centre though moving further right recently and just a bit unhinged lately) that want everything privatised.

Fuck.

Oh god of course. I actually don’t know how that slipped my mind.

It’s also really hard for children to buy booze. Having it legal and regulated stops kids getting it and stops the illegal activities surrounding it AND brings in tax revenue.

With illegal drings you end up with children and vulnerable people falling victim of county lines and cuckooing.

Does it? Or does it just make hard drugs more dangerous and drive up multiple related crimes (burglary, shop lifting, mugging, cocoing, county lines etc) and stigmatise people with addiction issues stopping them from being able to seek help?

There’s multiple ways up pronounce it?

Dat a

Is “ghosts” really the most sensitive word for someone who’s been on deaths door for a while now?

Edit - er. Well. Just seen today’s news.

The problem is he’s a symptom of broader socialtal issues. Someone else will just rise to fill his place unless we work to address what caused him prominence.

Fuck sake, I thought we’d left this argument back in 99.

But does that outweigh the amount of days lost from people taking sick days?

Oh sorry America. The civilised world would be making that calculation though.

I got banned from the latter because of their stupid absolutely no politics rule. Lots of questions can’t be answered without it being down to politics.

I feel that bird flu is worse in the UK than the media are generally reporting. I work for one of the majority supermarkets and were running at about 75% fulfilment from our suppliers for eggs.

I agree. He’s going to hit us with tarrifs anyway, so we might as well.

The digital sales tax as it is brings in next to nothing and is set at just 2%. Do what the lib Dems have suggested and triple it. Then in my opinion when we do get hit by tarrifs triple it again from 6% to 18% as part of our retaliation package.

Kinda happy to have a government that has policies that can be controversial. The previous lot has so run out of steam that their response to the cost of living crisis was go to the Winchester and wait for it to all blow over

Very much feels like a loophole.

Is it legal for someone’s identical twin to pretend to be them in order to tick someone into sex?
